k all take scenes here from cities in ecuador showing a glimpse of the violence on the streets. scores of casualties have been rushed to hospital. i made on going gun fights in broad daylight, or from last attack and catching up, seemingly random people. they are rest, erupt it after a prominent drug cartel leader disappeared from the maximum security prison over some day. so many, when this will, the countries president nicola has reportedly gone into hiding is powerless in the capital city has been a fact you waited, one of the leaders spokesman outlined the details of the presence of a compromising come on to eliminate the guns. indicate the decrease as the following. the provide for the mobilization and intervention by the armed forces and national police across the country to guarantee sovereignty and territorial integrity against transnational crime and terrorist organizations in the ledger and non state accuracy. in accordance with the provisions of this executive decrease. yeah. while in seeing was that shocked the nation. nothing beyond

a group of armed men. storms in ecuadorian t. v studio on choose day which was broadcasting live, taking stuff hostage for the chairs shows police arresting the sealants earlier from optic images from the scene which lifeline distressing. depicted the news from employees being held at gunpoint named demons hunting visits. the cameras cap rolling as most men over around the room, forcing journalists to power and authority. people were heard pleading for their lives shortly before the channels broadcast was taken down. it's on clear if any of the employees were left injured. and after being free by police and motional footage showed the former hostages being embraced by loved ones outside the building, some in tears, others kneeling down to pray. here's local reporter alexandra gale with more the nationwide trembling. well, you know, the, the president of back,

what do daniel, nevada has announced a state of internal conflict in the country in which move and 20 criminal groups are involved. nobody was said the base, the armed forces and the national police will walk to neutralize the threats that have been riots across deck windows since last night. police officers have been abducted as well as around 125 prison guards. one of the most serious crimes occurred today when 13 who did criminals seize the premises of national tv channel t. c. television. the such and criminals have already been neutralized by the national police. according to our sources to employees of the channel were injured . but we're still waiting for the details. this kidnapping operation, which last at about 2 hours in total was broad costs on national television for about 15 minutes. well done, the boy came to power as a result of snuff collections just months ago after parliament was dissolved last may the ty could era to have been on an empire,

but jobs and combining drug violent sizes main priority upon and taking office. but unemployment destroying killings have continued to store. raphael korea, who previously led ecuador for a decade, told us the incumbent president is on the fit for the jump. in the name of the we are in the states of internal conflicts as organized crime has declared war on the states and the states must use all legal force defined by armed forces. a national police take to the streets, respond intelligently with full support using all available resources to defeat these criminal kindness, 7 years of destruction, hatred, and accumulated mistakes. the rule of law disappeared because of political persecution, and today we cried, bloody ts. they so the wins, and now they will reap the whirlwind. unfortunately, president noble,

it has no experience is completely unprepared for this job. but we must unconditionally supports him as the country is engulfed in arms. conflict will following the disappearance of cartel leader, adult full must see us from prison. riots broke gullets on several other deals across the country. a number of the guards were taken hostage by inmates. some other drug gang figures of reportedly managed to escape amid the chaos. wanna show you as well disturbing images circulating on social media a party purporting to show gang members executing prison guards in the facility from which the cartel boss escaped. according to ecuador is penitentiary service, a $125.00 security guards, and more than a dozen administrative workers are being held hostage by prisoners in 5 jails across the country. while the carrying a state of emergency on monday, the president of this to say was given clear and precise instructions to

the military police chiefs to intervene in the control of the prison. i have just signed a degree for a state of emergency, so that the, all the forces have all the political legal supports in the actions. what we're seeing in the congress prison says the result of all decision to confront them. that is why the government has taken actions that will allow us to regain control of the presence and response these now conservative groups are trying to intimidate us and believe that we will give in to the months we will not negotiate with terrorists, nor will be rest until we return peace to all ecuadorian. we've got some more reaction on developments for the echo during academic, fernando cutting on mina, who told us that the country's government has consistently failed to enforce security in the state to use the most to new. and this is the most violent event in the history of ecuador. i would say that politically,

there are at least 3 of us consequences for the 1st is that the 100 days given to new presidents have already ended. and in this case, the main counter wait is not the opposition of political parties, but rather criminal structures of this. this is an unprecedented case. and secondly, the president's proposed holding a referendum during his election campaign. he sent out questions last week. and now the situation has changed to pollution. another t issue has emerged in the possibility that people deprived of their freedom. mainly leaders could be sent to prison in other countries. that is the possibility of extradition. and the 3rd is that it calls into question the ball was main security policy, which he calls the phoenix plan, as it does not bring positive results. so this is a very strong political blow for the president and national political structures as a whole. instead of a rigid approach of a smarter one is needed, in my opinion,

this is a very serious issue because, but again, firstly, there is no clearly defined government institution that would develop security policy. for example, there used to be a ministry of government and a ministry of internal affairs. now they're united, but we do not know which of them is responsible for what they both exist. but there was only one minister who is responsible for both. i think what all this means is that the public sector, which is not the military or the police, is smaller and therefore unable to determine policy and therefore confronted these kinds of problems to people who yeah, very much a powder keg situation there. we'll continue to bring you the latest from ecuador on there, the online website r t dot com indeed has more details about the shopping t, a studio hostage crisis, as well as the government's ongoing efforts to correct on gun violence in the latin american the. all right to another but headline stories

today. it's in go say we're at least 15 people have reportedly been killed and dozens more wounded. now says really strikes hit the unclear of southern loose city rough uh, overnight video circulating on line scale of the destruction as people scramble to pull victims from the rubble on apartment building, which hosted displays, palestinians was it the southern part of this trip was being the focus of increasing is really heavy bombardment despite most of gals as population. having been moved to the area for scores of wounded. i'm dead, including many children of being taken to the queue way to hospital scene here. the palestinian health ministry safety enclaves total death total has risen to over $23000.00 people since october, 7th, highlighting of 70 percent of the victims are women and children. journalist tons of chill out reports from rough yesterday around 11 p. m. and is to i

targeted uh, a residential house specifically uh, 2 apartments belongs to uh, uh, belongs to lots of family. and we witnessed the arrival of tim casualties here at community hospital. and the other 5 casualties arrived at abusive and luxury on the job hospital. all sort of no varsity look for look far away from here . and there's thousands of injuries as well. these are family was a sheltering inside this as the gym apartment. and many of these palestinians are actually forced to go there and show to the inside of a dangerous area. for example, it was very, very quiet. and yesterday it was empty. of the sky was empty of jones.

uh, is there any war plains, but suddenly around 11 p. m, as i told you, and there is to i targeted this was done chill apartment. it's 10 to a bloody day. so to me, well, just doing with homes that is doing their, his job reporting from the war to an end table that can be a deadly endeavor in itself, according to the committee, to protect her list and you, 79 media workers helping and firm killed in dallas has since october 7th, please. 32 by listening journalists have also be interest of during that period by the idea of the director of the new art press office in gals, a who was recently released, shared what he said he injured during his detention. i had an adjustment on the display, even though i was arrested by these bailey on me, from my family home and by law here. they did not charge me with anything, but i was held for the to 3 days in prison. i think it was the prison now that kept

them so long crossing there are thousands of prisoners that these violations that told us they have arrested 20000 prisoners separately, the conditions, the side of very difficult the detainees in prison, all various cats. they are being tortured, tragic circumstances. the red cross told us that from october the 7th, they've been unable to reach the posting of prison. those all digits a nice hope to be released. why was released have to be, am hand bound. i arrived at the posting out of crossing were held in dollar and shackles to provide movements and who was put all the l i. so we could not see anything 24 hours, but time is from 11 pm to 4 am. they gave us screwed but it was bad. other than food and everyday life of the situation inside the prison is very difficult. there is systematic torture on a daily basis. they told me for 25 days just sitting on my knees. 16 hours tortured

every day. the conditions, good, difficult, but i was really well that's turned attention to another nearby southern johnson city from there were at least 13 civilians have reportedly been killed in con eunice in the past 24 hours. several sites there were targeted send bombing raids by the idea of local media, sand, moss. several residential homes are turned into rubble and in the southern and eastern parts of the city and the retreat. drones attack, displaced all list and in sheltering inside un affiliated schools. canadian, palestinian, during this month through schumann, has been reporting extensively for r t from kansas. since the start of the war, you may have seen some of his reports. well, he's no discovered his facebook account, which he uses to share his work has been suspended most for give us his reaction. a good, a post with 3 or 4 times

a day together with them on 6 or 7 of the different social media platforms updates here from mazda of elk, what's happening sometimes burst and those pictures. uh, sometimes videos of the mediterranean work that you have doing here. uh sometimes it just updates uh, providing use the people about um about the latest sale for stopping in on the grounds. and then yesterday i was, i wanted to post um, uh, an interview with us i have is the most put in both costing, coughing, gbc, talking about the they are all over a $111.00, june the receipt and laza. and while i clicked poles, it said that my account was suspended for 24 hours. you to uh, re sick this content. yeah, i heard um, you know, a lot of other social media and so what's the result the father joined that is true . also complained about them accounts being shadow bands, being respected,

being close down. um i had a couple of tick tock accounts. that's where shut down my have to goes stop over. that is to get i've also got the balls. i know how to do work on it. again, and so these things do happens and unfortunately it shows us already, i'm a chief of the so called the tree world. are you concerned that if you keep reporting on social media, that you will be suspended again, perhaps indefinitely and, and what is your plan for how to deal with this problem? as you say that many of your other social media accounts like take talking in spam, have also been suspended in the past. it says into the unfortunates multicultural forces us to be more creative and to find other solutions and ways to get the truth out. so we need to create the back of accounts and let the follow is know about about them. just teachers that gets the band or cancer or whatever. so there would always be challenges. what is showing that we would almost overcome them one way or

another, a month for a shipment of snow as grind, fighting intensifies in southern gallows. anthony is really army, has confirmed the 9 more of his soldiers helping killed the total number of idea of loss is no stands at $187.00 troops. since v is really impatient began in late october on tuesday, israel confirmed at one of its tanks, accidentally killed 6 winters and a friendly fire incident. they might not compete with them if doing the operational opportunity to destroy the crowns infrastructure of the weapons production plans, unexposed. and what's caused by the firing over tank, which detached it and, and let me talk it through the fields. apparently the talk cell impacts resulted in the explosion of a nearby electric pole doing 6. and these very 14 idea of sol just for israel, has also reportedly instructed its hospitals to prepare for a new influx of casualties and increasingly deadly. so it's across the board with

the lab and on the one income. so the idea of saves it, killed, one of cause the law senior commanders during a strike on 11 on tuesday. the militant group of denied the claim on monday and nobody has blocked them under was confirmed, killed were not in fact seeing images of his huge funeral procession on the screen has ballasa as it targeted on this really come on base in retaliation since the beginning of the conflicting cancer is real sayings, it's bombardments, of killed at least $130.00 militants in level on another 19 across the border in syria. be a route based journalist muller kelly. say's is really reports of his blood casualties and level are somewhat contradictory. well, this is a, the news coming from the east side where 40 and above the targeting. and the local vendor was which was the common 0, the unfortunate ones. it was the commended of the drum unit. and the latest thing

was what the to the 1st and then you have how got a, another people from getting someone who is trained to be the ones responsible for the georgia unit. but she had mistaken the name and we haven't been meeting different things from that is what you decide during the whole day since the beginning of the morning and been hospitalized. the ninety's a claim saying that the, the, the, the, the storage unit is not on the oh, through the day they would forge how's the last items that's good to buy? that is the muscles and the photos that were none of them was a nose. indeed it, hello the, the one the, the who was on monday was also a huge is announced by hans with lots of age. so basically it has one method denies or hides the fact that i often mothers with kim this is there any confusion

come up to her laws targeted the north in leadership headquarters in sofa using tools. and that's why that is where areas are starting to show the audience and to show that americans and to show the work that that'd be our implement and we know what you're doing and we have the service you can accuse, see uh when we need to have someone or to target someone suffers will not. but this is not the case. okay, something else to tell you about today regarding the conflict is really president ice curse of has called south africa's appeal to the international court of justice . quote, atrocious, preposterous. it relates to per, tory, is filing of a case accusing israel of car. and you know, it's an operation quote genocide, the link carter against thousands on thursday, april saving, one start in the international court of justice and

a while by the south africa. as soon as the israel fall, supposedly genocide, there's nothing more atrocious for boss stress than this plane. so don't forget, filed its legal objection with the un international court of justice last month urging the court to take measures over the is really on slot. the 1st hearing is expected tomorrow, thursday, the organization of islamic cooperation comprising of more than 50 countries, as by the lawsuit against israel, tortilla malaysia and the lots of americans that have bolivia also expressed support for the policy. well, a world affairs on the list from south africa told us that cooperation among the global side is and will be strengthening, while the west responds to ongoing attacks against casa, has been locking. i believe it was the soft country is believe in the right of human rights and the retro resistance of palestinian people and the people off of

the world. and part of the process of believe us fight is solidified, that many international actors had a case by piece of africa way they banded together to fight a very fruitful and a repressive regime at an international level. putting this on a day or 2 with a civic against the cartridge, of the master code, and part of the pulse of the, of interest such as the lives of africa and the other wrestler global. so why they see it from the believe this actually is to increase is the lack of response. qualified was inactive, lack of a compassion and some deputy with the over 24000 individual civilians. that'd be good to the master code was in there has a strip for 2 dog with missing. foreign policy has been especially the punch vacation around human rights has been gone and has been seen as contradictory. and it's been seen as for critical. and we look at the human rights of trustees, county being funded by the us in incident with an actors, especially on the issue of israel palestine. and therefore, page national communities, especially some of africa,

realizing that israel funded and supplied onto the of ideas is she in south africa, has decided to take up on this action to ensure that some full international accountability on the international arena. and not deliver that to the lives and the level of policies remain a bit. and so say can the, the okay to more world news and to germany for us citizens face training constellations across the country. there's an ongoing real way workers strike us to travel chaos with protest by farmers already hindering road traffic in berlin. dozens of tractors, helping blasting their horns and blocking the city's main photographers. it's all in response to the government's decision to slash fuel subsidies to farmers and truckers. politicians take the purchase 17000000000 euro budget. yeah. that's despite the must have some, some pearlin is dishing out to ukraine and the german chancellor seems to be too

busy talking about that instead of the protest in his own country restrictions, i don't job, i talk just as significant as the german contribution is. it will not be enough to ensure you create security in the long run for this. so therefore, i call on our allies in the european union to step off their support for you create the plans weapons deliveries to ukraine's for most e. u. member states are not enough, but what's interesting there is schultz just doubled the military aid that was committed by germany to ukraine. right at the end of the year last year. and well, the message that we're hearing here from these protestors, these farmers, is that the government is just right with mismanagement. yeah, i think that this movie thought on about the green realities does expenses have risen to a level that makes it difficult for many palms to survive. those funds determined to continue all per right. so you must prepare for financial ruin. we must stop the

government and call lucian's plans for each i don't even as an issue on the down to it. i'm the federal government's proposal to compensate for its financial shortcomings by cutting agricultural investments is outrages. this has left farmers feeling extremely angry. we demand the withdrawal of these proposals, plans to the bottom of the farm is have to ensure there is food for the population, but it's been made so difficult for them. now with these cuts the best scraping by a subsistence level, and that work is no longer economically viable. and you end up with a situation where a 1000000000 euros for ukraine. that's right. now, what the governor is committed to supporting ukraine? well, what about the money that these guys could use to maintain the subsidies to help them offset the very high cost of production as a result of energy exploding because of the mismanagement of those policies. so what these guys are saying is that those real subsidies amount to

a lot in terms of their annual revenues, one farmer said 10000 euro, is it? what is what it represents for them? and that also gives you a bit of an idea of, of the scale, the magnitude of revenues that they are dealing with when they're saying that $10000.00 euros of revenue a year that those subsidies represent on diesel that were just cut that, that, that puts them in to make or break situation and yet, do you think they're just rolling in luxury or at least that's what it sounds like when government officials speak. one government official said here that, well, if the small farmers have a problem with subsidies being cut, then they should take it up with the, the big farmers because it's their fault. and what's ready or wrong about this is that this whole move, it is just unity all around, which,

which we keep hearing from public officials, right? it's all about unity, whether it's on ukraine, whether it's on everybody needs to be on the political, typically on the same page as the government agenda. it's always about year to year, the year and you, we have that drilled into our minds here in europe. and yeah, this is true unity not only truckers and farmers coming together to send a message to the government with all the have that their membership has behind it, but also their unity with the people and the peoples unity with their cause. and finally, this news are $11000000.00 worth of confiscated, elephant house comp being pulverized in nigeria after the illegal commodity with smuggle been from other african countries. it's a sad seen but authority say necessary action and regional journalist timothy evasive. so what happened? it is a historic moment for light syria. the 1st ever destruction of confiscated elephant

ivory profiles weighing about 2.5 fonts are being pulverized. the latest effort by a party seems to send a strong notice to wildlife traffickers in a bid to combat the level wildlife trade protects when lean population and promote biodiversity of body saved the destruction was also to take on just the phone and to prevent the spread of sonata diseases estimated to be 1290. josh always told us that the country we continue to spend about strong signal based exercise is taking place rarely 3 months offer a similar event start in which it is destroyed for tons of feast. toggling scales

already saved was amazed. also the process will be used to construct a monuments at the national park in memory of the slain as the front office of the largest frontier. nigeria is a source transit and destination point for level wildlife trade including ivory and found willing scales. despite seen as signatories to the convention on international trade in and dangerous, facing arthritis and conservation. they say ignorance and we can measure all the main problems that they are now trying to fix. so what you have is the nature of what they've been designated for the level wildlife tree and also, and, and julia is the trust of points for illegal. why that for adults, we out to the one, especially from the west african and um, central africa and um, built into that area and into the rest of the world. now it's they like busy that so because the government of the day had not been serious, they bought the car. you know, it's, this is both cosmetically. we have the government that has said no to these,

and that's both, it's just, it's on the ground to ensure that the legal electorate does no trapping and you decide to continue to all international tv shows according to conservation. it's like serious elephant population has windows from an estimated 1500 to less than 400 in the last 3 decades. already say the city side is even made worse by the growing demand for wildlife globally. and by curious porous borders. in december, a video of a soldier chill into endangered elephants in northeastern border states, spots outrage on social media. materials mirrors, minister phase for environment case the ex falafel said the ceiling not only reflect a disregard for.
